Tiguan :: 2012 - Navigation Overriding Steering Wheel Arrow Buttons
On my 2012 Tiguan SEL w/premium nav, the left-right arrow buttons on the left side of the steering wheel (for changing track/preset) have never worked. I just recently discovered by accident that they DO work when the car first turns on, but as soon as the navigation system finishing booting up a few seconds later, they stop responding.
I asked them to look at it at my 10K tuneup, and they had no idea and had to "call Detroit", with no answer hours later...I'd rather not have to leave the car with them if I can avoid it, since we're a one-car family. Is it fixable by me?
Passat (B7) :: 2012 - Loud Whine While Turning Steering - Power Steering Leak?
I noticed over the last week that there was a pretty loud whine associated with turning the steering wheel. I checked the fluid level and it didn't seem low. I added a touch just to make sure. Took it into the dealership today and they called back and told me there's a bunch of fluid on the bottom splash pan. They haven't said what the culprit is yet. 46k miles on the car.

My Phaeton has pretty audible whine when turning the steering wheel. Closer to lock- the louder the noise. Can I check the fluid myself or is this going to become a trip to the dealer?
View 5 RepliesSonata NF (2006-10) :: V6 - Intermittent / Random Steering Wheel Whine
Lately I've been noticing an Intermittent/random steering wheel whine. It happens rarely, but as of late I heard it a couple times. I checked the fluid and its topped off. Car has about 85k on it. I'm not sure when it was last replaced.
I'm thinking My next step would be changing the fluid. What is the actual procedure for doing this? Also, if I do go ahead and change the fluid and still get a whine here and there. What would be my next step?
Lexus IS 2014+ :: Steering Wheel Whine Upon Turning During Cold Start
So recently, my car started making whining noises upon turning the steering wheel during cold starts. Now, it does it when the car is warmed up too. From what I can hear, its only during slow speeds. Can't take my car to the dealership anymore cause they will charge me $140 diagnostic fee for whatever issues I'm having due to my car being "tampered" with previously. (It's all stock now).
View 4 RepliesGolf/GTI VII :: Whine Sound Coming From Tyres - Slight Vibration In Steering Wheel?
Took delivery of my 2015 GTI a few weeks ago. Overall the car is great, but I have a feeling the tires that came with it just plain suck. They are Pirelli P7 Cinturato A/S. According to Tire Rack, these are grand touring tires?! Not exactly what I'd expect to be put on a GTI. Anyway, I've noticed that at almost exactly between 60mph-70mph there is a "whine" sound coming from them, also just the slightest vibration in the steering wheel. At every other speed they are relatively quiet and the wheel is absolutely dead solid, no vibration. Could these tires just be of relatively poor quality? Should I have them put on a balancing machine to see if everything checks out? I'm assuming these were balanced on a Road Force machine at the factory since that is the OEM for VW/Audi, but I'm not 100% sure obviously.

I started to notice a slight whine when I turn the wheel. My fluid is at low but it's pretty dark and I'm not sure if it was ever changed or when. I have 100k miles. What fluid should I use?
View 10 RepliesTiguan :: 2015 - Steering Wheel Being Off Centered
Bought a 2015 Tiguan Comfortline with appearance package (SE) in August, the car is currently under 2000 KM, I am already having this insane vibration though the steering wheel on highway.
First thing I noticed when I got the car is the steering wheel being off centre just by a little bit, need to hold it a little to the left to drive straight, but I am not overly concerned since the car tracks straight, never took it on highway with stocking rims and tires, and recently I bought another set of winters(rims plus tires) and shop balanced, and installed them myself torqued to 88 feet lbs with cross pattern. Found the steering wheel to vibrate on highway speed, starts at 90km/h (55mph), and get worse as speed increases, one late night I even tried to push the car to 140 km/h (87 mph), and the vibration didn't stop. I could only feel the vibration through hands, but can't visually see the vibration, I does make the car feel unsafe to drive at high speed.
First thing I did was to take the car to another shop to balance, and the tire shop told me He did balance all 4 but the machines only had very minor readings in the weight and they could just be the dirt inside of the rims.
I also checked the tire pressure, all 38 psi to spec.
The vibration seems to be only speed sensitive, doesn't relate to RPM according to my test drives late night.
Now I regret not taking the car on highway with the stock tires, its snowing here already and would be pretty unsafe to put the all seasons on and drive on highway to test it out.

View 5 RepliesTiguan :: Vibration In The Steering Wheel When Going Over 70 Mph Or Higher
I have a 2011 Tiguan SE FWD with just over 10k miles. It has been about 2 weeks since the 10k service, all the sudden today I noticed pretty strong vibration in the steering wheel when going over 70 mph on highway. What would cause this? I know the dealer did the tire rotation at 10k, would that have caused it?
View 1 RepliesTiguan :: 2012 - Steering Voice Button Does Nothing?
I picked up a 2012 SEL w/ RNS-510 today and the steering wheel voice button doesn't work. I checked it with vcds and its coded for voice command to work. Did the 2012's cone with a harness for voice command or do I need to add the wires to the harness? My rns-510 is a version F and the service records show that the original was replaced under warranty. It's running software 3690 but I'm installing 4366 in the morning. Does 3690 disable voice command? I know it works with 4366. I'd mess with it tonight, but I drove 500 miles each way to get it so I'm ready for bed.
When I press the star button on the rns-510 the annoying voice says, "route guidance is not available".
Tiguan :: 2010 - Steering Wheel Vibration / Shakes At 70 Mph Plus
My 2010 Tiguan R-Line only experiences vibration in the steering wheel noticeably at 70mph plus. The tyres were brand new when i collected the car in July this year and the alloys have been balanced since having the existing alloy weights replaced with new ones in August. What the problem could be and how best to resolve this nagging issue.
View 6 RepliesTiguan :: Creaking Noise Coming From Steering Wheel
Today a creaking noise suddenly developed coming from the steering wheel when turning left at slow speeds. I only have 600 miles on the Tiguan, so was a little surprised to hear this so soon. I have found many others with similar problems on VWs through Google... the problem seems to range from coil springs to tie rod ends. I am hoping that this is just a freak occurrence, but am taking it in tomorrow.
It sounds like "creaking" as if you were shutting a door that needs WD40. That's the best way to explain it.
Tiguan :: 2010 - Steering Wheel Noise While Turning?
My 2010 Wolfsburg Tig makes rubbing noises when I turn the wheel but not moving. The noise sounds from the wheel shaft. The noise goes away when the car is moving. What's noise? Is it a normal noise for Tig?
View 6 RepliesFord 7.3L Power Stroke (1999-2003) :: Whine From Steering Wheel When Turning / Brake Pedal Is Mushy
2001 F350 XL... Fitting on PS pump broke and I lost PS and PB with fluid everywhere. Replaced the hose with a new one from Autozone and I have no noticeable leaks.
I know I lost more than a quart but I could only add less than a quart (Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF). I'm also getting a whine from the steering wheel when I turn stop to stop. The power steering is back and there are no leaks (that I see) but the brake pedal is mushy. I've pumped and turned stop to stop for a while. Do I have to bleed the system like I'm doing a fluid flush? I hate to waste the synthetic fluid that I changed about two years ago.
Accent RB (2012+) :: Steering Wheel Is Off-center
Ok just swapped out the stock steering wheel(polyurethane) to the oem leather wheel...
The diy install went fine then i went to sleep, in the morning i took the car for a spin, i noticed when keeping the steering wheel straight i kinda veer to the left, ok maybe i got the install wrong so i popped out the wheel and adjust...but now it veers to the right!
How can I now keep my steering wheel straight w/out it veering left or right? I did change rims about 2 months ago, wheel alignment perhaps? Probably wasnt paying attention to the steering wheel before..
Golf VI R :: 2012 - Steering Wheel Vibrates?
I have vibration in my 2012 Golf R at highway speeds. I noticed it right when I drove it off the lot. First I thought it's because the tires had a flat spot from the car sitting a few months on the lot, but it persisted.
The steering wheel vibrates very slightly and I can see the front passenger seat vibrating as well. I know it's not normal. I checked my tire pressures and they are all at 41psi as per the door sticker.
Messed up factory rim/tire balance in the R? How about hub or driveshaft imbalance?
Tiguan :: 2011 SEL Whine On Cold Start
My 11 SEL is making this weird noise on a cold start. It sounds like almost like a bit of brake squealing when I first turn the steering wheel. I am not touching the brakes so I don't think it is that. Only lasts for 2-3 seconds and then it is gone. The car runs fine otherwise and there is nothing felt in the wheel.
